- How're you doin', Nancy?

I'm sitting back there.

Nice seeing you, baby.

You don't introduce me

to something like that?

- She's not for you.

- What do you mean?

- Nancy is a fascinating girl.

- Yeah.

She may be the single hottest girl

on the Eastside...

but when you wake up in the morning,

you'll find she's not a serious person.

Neither am I.

Harry, listen to me.

For the first time in our lives,

we're free.

Yeah, we're free!

Free to walk out in the cold.

To be ridiculed,

to starve to death!

I mean we're free to get out of

this city! It's driving me f***ing...

What are you trying to pull, man?

I gave you $10.

What do you think I am, crazy?

It's 8.50 on the clock.

You gave me a buck, not ten.

- Bullshit! I gave you a ten.

- Why are you trying to steal from me?

Get lost, Chico!

You see what this city does to people?

They need room to breathe.

They need a little love.

They need affection.

The little guy needs his money...

and the big guy needs

a two-by-four upside his head.

All those two fellas need is someone

to talk to them gently, with compassion.

That's all they need.

Are you serious?

You know that I'm serious. That's

what I don't like about this city.

- You're a saint.

- Why do you make fun of me?

You ought to go to those fellas...

They're gonna understand

what you're talking about...

'Cause you convinced me.

You tell them what you told me.

Go on over there.

Skip, what are you...

Don't go over there.

Hi, Donna.

Call me?

Excuse me. Hold on.

Hold on one second, fellas.

Listen to me.

I know this is a delicate situation...

but let's talk a little sense.

You don't really want to hurt

this man, do you?

No, not at all.

Do you want more

than what's coming to you?

- No, that's all right.

- Then we're halfway home.

- Can't we work this out?

- It's okay with me.

By the way, sir,

what is your name?

Alex.

- And you, sir?

- My name is Chico.

Alex, may I present Chico.

- Chico, this is Alex.

- How do you do?

Wallet.

Thanks.

- Does this include the tip?

- Yes. And keep the other dollar.

Thanks, man. Thanks a lot.

I'm going to leave you alone because you

seem to have a nice friendship starting.

- Have a nice evening.

- Thank you.

- So long, fellas.

- Take care.

- Well?

- What if you got hurt?

Did you think about that?

Do you see what can be accomplished

if you can get people...

to make real contact

with each other?

The little man there

had the contact.

It might've been something you said,

'cause he got his point across.

I don't like it here anymore.

I want to get out.

Let's go where there's

some sunshine...

Where there's human feelings

between people...
